Why does your Briggs and stratton engine stop after it heats up?

Three things come to mind.
1) There is debris under the engine cover that is blocking the air flow which cools the engine. Once the engine gets overheated parts of the engine expand and do not operate properly. If it is hard to pull the rope to start the engine then it is probably this one.
2) The coil is going bad and breaking down when it gets hot. If the rope pulls easily then it is probably this one.
3) There might be an exhaust leak that is blowing onto the carburetor making the gas vapor lock.
It probably is not number 3. That one is pretty rare. 1 and 2 are very popular.

What is a nutating engine?
a nutating engine is a new, though slightly similar to the wankel engine, where "a disk spins on a Z-shaped shaft that makes the disk oscillate. In a Wankel engine, a (roughly) triangular-shaped rotor spins on a straight shaft." (Corrected below)source: http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/06/pistons-we-dont.htmlCorrection: Actually, the disk doesn't spin at all. Only the shaft spins. If you look at the diagrams in the reference link, there's actually an "anti-rotation pin" sticking out of the disk to prevent that!The above should read: "a disk wobbles (like a spun coin coming to a stop) because it's riding on a z-shaped shaft." Its edge sweeps the spherical wall of the chamber, and its conical sides meet the conical ends of the chamber.
